  • Patent number: 10176715
    Abstract: A method of operation of a navigation system includes: identifying a first-device location for representing a smart vehicle; identifying a unintelligent-vehicle location associated with the first-device location, the unintelligent-vehicle location for representing an unintelligent vehicle; determining a smart vehicle data for representing the smart vehicle data from an environmental sensors of the smart vehicle; and generating with a vehicle control circuit, an area profile for the unintelligent-vehicle location, based on the smart vehicle data for representing geographic relationship between the unintelligent vehicle and the smart vehicle, a further vehicle, or a combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 7091949
    Abstract: A method for interfacing with a computer through a projected display of the computer using a laser pointer includes processing an image of the projected display captured by a camera, determining position of a laser pointer spot on the projected display, generating commands to position a computer mouse pointer at a screen position corresponding to the projected display, and generating a mouse click for the computer when a programmable laser pointer event occurs. Commands may be used to emulate control of the computer typically provided by a pointing device such as a mouse or track ball.

  • Patent number: 6952198
    Abstract: A system and method for communicating information to a remotely located computer include encoding the information using a plurality of features of an optical pointer, transmitting the encoded information to a remote location using the optical pointer, detecting the plurality of features of the optical pointer, decoding the information based on the detected plurality of features of the optical pointer, and generating a command for the remotely located computer based on the decoded information. In one embodiment, a computer presentation system includes a computer, a screen associated with the computer for displaying output from the computer, and a camera in communication with the computer and positioned to capture a plurality of image frames including at least a portion of the screen associated with the computer.

  • Patent number: 6275214
    Abstract: A method for remotely controlling a computer having an associated screen for displaying output from the computer and having an internal cursor generated by the computer includes detecting at least one property of an external cursor relative to the screen and generating a command for the computer based on the at least one detected property of the external cursor. In one embodiment, the invention includes a computer connected to a projector which projects an image of the computer output onto an external screen. A camera is used to capture an image of the projected computer output. An optical pointer, such as a laser pointer, is used to generate and transmit an external cursor having various properties, such as color, shape, or intensity. The image captured by the camera is used to detect and process at least one property of the external cursor to generate a corresponding command or commands to control the computer.

  • Patent number: 5832263
    Abstract: A system and method for allowing modification of information recorded in a read-only storage, including CD-ROMs, ROMs, read-only network directories, read-only files, and WORM media and devices (after being written or burnt.) The method and system intercepts read and write requests targetted at the read-only storage and remaps them when appropriate to a modifiable storage area. The modifying information may appear to the user to supplement, alter, or delete information recorded in the read-only storage. Information is combined from the modifiable storage and the read-only storage and presented to the user such that the entire read-only storage information need not be copied into memory.
